The American Red Cross and KSHE hope to collect over 2,500 units of blood at this year’s December blood drive. KSHE blood donors have donated almost 130,000 units since 1984.
All those who attempt to donate will receive a complimentary KSHE95/Red Cross T-shirt. (Design shown above).
All blood types are needed; however, healthy individuals with type O-negative blood are highly encouraged to attempt to donate blood. O-negative is the universal blood type because anyone can receive O-negative blood.
Potential donors should be at least 17 years old (16 with a signed American Red Cross parental consent form), meet height/weight requirements and be in good health. Donors should remember to bring a picture ID.
